Revelation.
9.19.00

I want to see you again
To pity your fragility of testimony
An onion-skin
Against a thousand winters

I try to forgive and forget
But forgetting is the hardest part
(even though I can hardly remember
                      the colour of your eyes...)

I feel like a newborn
Glorious and awake- finally!

The hands that tried to slap me
Out of my sleep
Are finally stinging

Now...
         so much later
